In the midst of what seems like constant COVID chaos and burnout, a local nurse tells us she’s called it quits as her mental and emotional wellbeing become under more distress than ever before.
Tucked inside Cleveland’s Tower City, there's a new clothing boutique called Mi’Amour. Inside there’s an oversized gold logo that pulls you in and where clothes and accessories are tagged and placed to perfection. There, on the second floor, is where Meih Stevenson says she feels most at peace.
Stevenson says looking back at when she started her nursing career in 2003, she never imagined a virus overwhelming hospitals or constantly crying during overnight shifts. Nor did she imagine she’d now be possibly dealing with PTSD.She explained her 19-year-long experience ended after a cold blue call about two months ago in Houston. Her patient was just 21-years-old and was hospitalized as he battled COVID for months.
“For her to have to see that was a lot for me,” she said. “Who wants to see their child go through all of that and still just not make it…I have children…[and] at that moment I felt her pain.”“I was just like yeah, I think I’ve had enough of this. I need a break," she said.A Morning Consult research survey showed 18% of healthcare workers have quit since the pandemic started, while 12 percent have been laid off.
